“*comm* Roger that, I’ll be with you as soon as
possible!”
It barely took ten minutes. With a growl Aaricia put on
her most battle looking outfit. She adjusted her outfit and holstered her carbine.
Everything she put into her backpack. Next to hers there was the small backpack
of Mathilda. With some effort she managed to put it into her own backpack.
After the door had slid open she peered around, the
street looked empty. She felt uncomfortable, as if some big threat was about to
arrive here really soon.
Hurry Aaricia.
She jumped onto a swoop that was parked in the garage and
left the small city, pushing the gas as hard as possible.
The authorities already seemed to have been warned.
Aaricia jumped off her swoop and while shooting the troopers she jumped into
the little Z95 headhunter.
Her compassion was gone for now; they took her daughter and nobody was going to stop her.. nobody!
Tie fighters chased her while she left
the planet, on her left she saw one of the Star Destroyers approaching her at
full speed, like a predator that was ready to catch the prey. She pressed some
buttons and a countdown started. Aaricia continued making the oddest maneuvers
with her ship to avoid the greenish laserblasts that were being fired at her.
“This is the Empire, surrender immediately or be
destroyed.” A voice sounded in her cockpit.
She slammed a button. “Never!
And I’m not gonna let myself be
destroyed!” She yelled into the microphone. She had to keep herself from calling
a lot of names into the little device in order to stay clear and keep enough
time and energy to be able to escape.
The countdown continued.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2..
A laser hit her ship, right into her right engine. She
cursed loudly, but despite this.. the
stars still transformed into star stripes. Apparently her hyperdrive wasn’t
hit.
With a loud sigh of relief she leaned back into the pilot
chair. She managed to escape.
